Statistics Project
Directions: Analyze or create a data set that includes approximately: (a) 60 cases, (b) 2 or 3
endogenous or dependent variables (DVs), and (c) 5-6 exogenous or independent variables (IVs).
Name or label each of your variables and conduct the data analyses specified below. For each of
the computer analyses you conduct, (a) write an appropriate null hypothesis, (b) report whether
you would reject or fail to reject it, (c) prepare a table (it can be handwritten) that summarizes
the computer results, and (d) briefly summarize the results. There are 10 different types of
analyses that should be included:
-
t-test independent samples (include two separate analyses using two different
dependent variables (DVs) -
t-test paired or related samples (include two separate analyses using different
variables) - one-way ANOVA (include two separate analyses using two different DVs)
- two-way ANOVA (include two separate analyses using two different DVs)
- three-way ANOVA (include two separate analyses using two different DVs)
-
ANCOVA (include two separate analyses using two different dependent variables, 1
covariate, and at least 1 factor) - Correlation (~ 6 variables)
-
Setwise Multiple Regression (include two separate analyses using two different DVs
& ~4 IVs) -
Stepwise Multiple Regression (include two separate analyses using two different DVs
& ~4 IVs) - Choose an appropriate analytic procedure: factor analysis,
multivariate analyses of variance, discriminant analysis, logistic regression, canonical
correlation, or any nonparametric procedure and conduct two appropriate analyses.
In most instances, a specified number of comparisons are listed for the analyses.
Prepare your data set carefully so that you obtain some statistically significant findings. Also, make sure you use post hoc tests and examine interactions when necessary. Please turn in a copy of the computer printouts you've used along with your exam. (Please use SPSS)
